Comments:
Oops, probably my lowest Sprint score ever. 40m was painful - definitely wasn't
a good band for me this time. 20m had its own problems.
Started off pretty well on 20m. Had 50 Q's and rate was up to 100/hr. Then I got
nailed by a wacko. This guy figured that my signal quality wasn't good enough
for him. He told me that he'd find me and follow me around just to QRM me and
he did. I don't know who this guy was or where he was, but I couldn't work the
weaker mults underneath him. I've seen guys get mad because I'm too near their
ragchew or their net, but this is the first time I've encountered somebody who
will actively search for me to cause problems just out of meanness.
This is the first time that I've operated the K6XX station, but I am familar
with similar radios and amps. If any Sprinters heard something wrong with my
signal, my e-mail address is on QRZ.com. I would be interested to hear any
reports that are informative and polite. I don't think anything was wrong and
this guy was just a weirdo (not identifying himself and causing intentional QRM
are big clues). It is sad that there are people out there like this guy.
I did have fun and certainly like the Sprint. Now looking forward to the CW
version - my experience is that this is considerably more civilized.
73, Matt WX5S
